I am taking a trip to Spain this spring. We have decided to visit Barcelona and Serville, however, we have trouble in deciding whether Madrid or Granada would be a better choice as the third city to visit.
Anyone who has been to both, please suggest which city is more worth going (I am sure both are!) given our time constraints, what is each city famous for. We will have 2 days in one of them. Is Madrid simply a typical big city and what is there to see? I am not sure. What else is in Granada besides the Alhambra Palace?
Madrid, no question about it.
You can take the AVE - High Speed Train - from Seville to Madrid, or from Barcelona to Seville.
Madrid has beautiful museums, nice architecture, good restaurants and tapas, shows, you name it.
Granada, the Alhambra and the Old Quarter, that's about it.
I would delete Seville, and instead Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Cordoba, in that order, then return to whatever airport you are leaving from.
Alhambra in Granada and the mosque in Cordoba are well worth seeing, even if you stay in those cities one day each, especially if you think you may never return to Spain again.
Otherwise, I would treat Andalusia as a separate trip, visiting instead, on this trip, Barcelona, then Madrid and Toledo, possibly also Avila and Salamanca, all within shouting distance of one another.
Whatever you decide, you can never go wrong in ever beautiful Spain.
